To investigate how changes in kilovolt peak and milliampere second settings, patient weight affect transmitted x-ray energy fluence the image contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) at abdominal computed tomography (CT).Cylinders of water were used as models, spectra, including tube potentials 80-140 kVp, investigated. The mean photon through cylinders with varying diameters contrast for fat, muscle, bone, iodine relative to determined. effect changing potential on CNR also was investigated.At a...
Background The low-dose CT (≤3 mGy) screening report of 1000 Early Lung Cancer Action Program (ELCAP) participants in 1999 led to the International ELCAP (I-ELCAP) collaboration, which enrolled 31 567 annual between 1992 and 2005. In 2006, I-ELCAP investigators reported 10-year lung cancer-specific survival 80% for 484 diagnosed with a first primary cancer through screening, high frequency clinical stage I (85%). Purpose To update cure rate by determining 20-year expanded cohort. Materials...
Background Pulmonary noncalcified nodules (NCNs) attached to the fissural or costal pleura with smooth margins and triangular lentiform, oval, semicircular (LOS) shapes at low-dose CT are recommended for annual follow-up instead of immediate workup. Purpose To determine whether management mediastinal diaphragmatic pleura-attached NCNs (M/DP-NCNs) same features as can follow recommendations. Materials Methods This retrospective study reviewed chest examinations in participants from two...
The purpose of this study was to investigate how x-ray technique factors and effective doses vary with patient size in chest CT examinations. Technique (kVp, mAs, section thickness, number sections) were recorded for 44 patients who underwent a routine examination. Patient weights together dimensions mean Hounsfield unit values obtained from representative axial images. total mass directly irradiated modeled as cylinder water permit the computation dose energy imparted each Computed during...
The purpose of this study was to determine how changes in radiographic tube current affect patient dose and image quality unenhanced chest CT examinations.Ten sets images were obtained from patients undergoing CT-guided biopsies. For each patient, six the same region at settings between 40 280 mAs. data used reconstruct tomographic sections with a field view limited normal contralateral lung. Images printed using lung mediastinal display settings. Image determined by asking radiologists...
Cancer and Leukemia Group B 140503 is an ongoing, multicenter randomized trial assessing whether sublobar resection equivalent to lobectomy for the treatment of stage I A non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ≤2 cm in diameter. The objective this report determine reasons precluding intraoperative randomization.
Physical characteristics were obtained for 196 patients undergoing chest and abdomen computed tomography (CT) examinations. Computed sections these having no evident pathology analyzed to determine patient dimensions (AP lateral), together with the average attenuation coefficient. Patient weights ranged from approximately 3 kg about 120 kg. For CT, mean Hounsfield unit (HU) fell -120 HU newborns -300 adults. abdominal children normal-sized adults was 20 HU, but decreased below -50 weighing...
IntroductionTo maximize the benefits of computed tomographic screening for lung cancer, optimal treatment small, early cancers is needed. Limiting extent surgery spares tissue, preserves pulmonary function, and decreases operative time, complications, morbidities. It also increases likelihood resecting future new primary cancers. The goal to assess alternative treatments in a timely manner.MethodsThe focus sessions with patients physicians separately highlighted need consider their...
Developmental disorders that involve the lymphatic channels of thorax, although rare, are important and must be distinguished from more common causes chest masses or diffuse lung disease. There four major types developmental affect thorax: lymphangiectasis, characterized by congenital anomalous dilatation pulmonary lymph vessels; localized lymphangioma, a rare benign, usually cystic, lesion masslike proliferation vascular, mainly lymphatic, spaces in which visceral skeletal involvement...
Background Solid costal pleura-attached noncalcified nodules (CP-NCNs) less than 10.0 mm with lentiform, oval, or semicircular (LOS) triangular shapes and smooth margins on baseline low-dose CT scans from the Mount Sinai Early Lung Cardiac Action Program (MS-ELCAP) were reviewed, it was determined that they can be followed up at first annual screening rather having a shorter-term work-up. Purpose To determine whether same criteria could used for solid CP-NCNs newly identified examinations....
